by Marisa O'Neil, Public Information Officer on 3/4/2010
After a 10-year hiatus, Adventure Day will come back to Caspers Wilderness Park on Saturday, March 13 from 10 a.m. 3 p.m.
The long-awaited return of this family fun-filled event will be celebrated with a full schedule of musical entertainment, natural history tours, arts and crafts, wildlife exhibits, games and refreshments.
Families and friends of all ages can partake in the Adventure Day activities. Caspers Wilderness Park will host wildlife-inspired games of ring-toss, trivia quizzes, cowboy lasso, and potato sack and spoon and egg races.
Educational programs and interactive experiences include a Hawk Talk, pelts and skins and animal track discovery. Learn the workings of a real fire engine with the Orange County Fire Authority and the necessities of a complete campsite with REI.
The Dusty Rangers will perform an adventure-themed musical skit, Orange County Parks guitarists will serenade, and Acjachemen Tribal Descendant Jacque Tahuka Nunez will enact a journey through the past to Native American times through theatrical storytelling.
Entry to Adventure Day is free and guests of all ages are encouraged to attend and participate in the fun.
